According to Alexa we now get as much traffic as Slashdot. So it follows 
that they have as much to fear from us as we have to fear from them. 
Maybe if we mentioned Slashdot on our main page, they would get a sudden 
influx of visitors which they would be obliged to refer to as the 
"Wikipedia effect". :)
